There is currently a trend towards the use of porcelain stoneware tiles in bathroom design. The focus is particularly on large tiles with a marble, onyx or limestone look. These tiles combine the aesthetic beauty of luxury materials such as marble and onyx with the practical benefits of easy-to-clean and durable ceramic. They create a luxurious ambience and offer numerous advantages.

With porcelain stoneware as a tile material, a seamless design can be realized from floor to ceiling. In the shower, porcelain stoneware tiles ensure that there are no unsightly joints that could become dirty over time. At SCHUBERT STONE in Vienna, we offer a wide range of sizes: Standard tiles in 60x60cm, 30x60cm, 80x80cm, 90x90cm, 100x100cm through to more generous formats in 120x120cm, 160x160cm, 270x120cm up to 320x160cm
Room-high wall tiles, such as 270x120cm or 320x160cm, which are laid seamlessly from floor to ceiling, are particularly exclusive. The design of the 120x120cm tiles for bathroom tiles on the floor and on the wall is currently very popular with our customers and is also generously represented in our showroom.
In addition to marble-look porcelain stoneware tiles, limestone-look tiles are becoming increasingly popular. These tiles are slip-resistant, look discreet and are available in many appealing shades such as cream, taupe, light gray and warm gray and beige tones. Large-format tiles, such as the 120x120cm, can also be used here to achieve a consistent and harmonious look.

Choosing the perfect bathroom tiles
When choosing your tiles, you should not only pay attention to the design, but also to the quality of the material. You may have already come across other materials such as stoneware during your research. Compared to stoneware, porcelain stoneware has a higher density due to the sintering process. During this process, the raw materials melt completely, resulting in scratch-resistant and stain-resistant properties. Porcelain stoneware tiles have no pores due to their production, which is not the case with earthenware tiles.
Our porcelain stoneware tiles are extremely durable and easy to maintain, making them the clear winner for bathroom tiles. They are made of quartz, feldspar and kaolin, which makes them resistant to chemicals and can be cleaned with the strongest cleaning agents. The quality of our porcelain stoneware tiles is characterized by their hardness: Hardness grade 8, which is close to diamond with hardness grade 10. This makes them scratch-resistant, highly durable and also stain-resistant - exactly the properties that floor and wall tiles need for your strip.
In summary, porcelain stoneware is robust, impresses with its durability and is easy to clean. It is also available in many different designs, so there is guaranteed to be something to suit every taste. In our showrooms in Vienna's 23rd district, we offer you a large selection of high-quality porcelain stoneware tiles.

Tips from the professionals: Visually large bathroom with porcelain stoneware tiles, plan the right format for floor tiles & wall tiles
A continuous floor and wall design, whether in a wood or stone look, always gives your bathroom a more spacious appearance. In smaller bathrooms in particular, you can optimize the available space and create the impression of spaciousness. It is advisable to choose wall tiles in the same or a lighter shade than the floor tiles to create a feeling of spaciousness. In addition, the coordination of patterns and textures on the surface should form a harmonious unit.

When planning the joints, it is crucial to take into account the existing architectural lines such as the bottom edges of mirrors, top edges of doors or top edges of shower glass. Once these basic joints have been defined, we can duplicate the joint grid based on the size of the panel and continue it in all directions until the continuous joints of the floor and wall have been planned. We provide you with comprehensive support and take all your wishes into account when designing your dream bathroom. The 120x120cm tiles in particular are easy to lay and also create a generous spatial effect. In combination with floor-to-ceiling wall tiles, they create a seamless surface with minimal joints, making your bathroom particularly appealing.
Now let's move on to the floor tiles: These should not only be aesthetically pleasing, but also absolutely non-slip. Our recommendation here is a slip class of at least R10. If your tiles do not meet this class, we can help by applying a special treatment: To sustainably improve the slip resistance of floor tiles, we suggest a permanent treatment with a special liquid that is particularly effective in wet areas. This creates not only an attractive but also a safe environment in your shower and bathroom. Our partner offers you this special treatment. If you would like to see it for yourself, arrange a consultation with us at our bathroom showroom in Vienna's 23rd district - we will be happy to show you samples and demonstrate this as an inspiring option.
